PeopleSoft Leave Accruals - Manager Self-Service

Transcription

1 PeopleSoft Leave Accruals - Manager Self-Service PeopleSoft s Leave Accrual System was implemented to allow tracking of paid time off through the Payroll System. Your employees will request to take accrual time through the PeopleSoft Time & Labor Timesheet. You will be notified through and must approve or deny the request depending on available accrual balances and departmental coverage. The employee will be notified through when you take action on the request. Approved time will be sent to PeopleSoft Payroll during the pay period that it becomes current. Current balances (as of the latest pay period end date) will be displayed on employee s pay advices. Balances are also available through the PeopleSoft online inquiry page (detailed later in this document).
